The Cubs have an open day the Thursday before the series starts which will permit them to skip Sergio Mitre's turn in the rotation. Assuming they want to do that (a good assumption, I think) here is how the matchups project:
Friday: Woody Williams v Matt Clement
Saturday: Jeff Suppan v Carlos Zambrano
Sunday: Matt Morris v Kerry Wood
Monday: Jason Marquis v Greg Maddux
In the event the Cubs want to keep Mitre in the rotation at the expense of the struggling Maddux, they could either match Sergio v Morris on Sunday and let Wood pitch Monday against Marquis. Or they could keep the Morris-Wood matchup on Sunday and pitch Mitre agains Marquis on Monday.
